An anthropology of The Tourist
An image of a waterfall on a postcard launches the beginning of a journey towards the pictured sight. An exotic quest during which the photographer allows herself to be guided by various tourists in America. From a distance, she observes the tourists in their habitat, but she also tries to gain insight into the marketing strategies of commercial tourism which has known a continuous growth. ‘An anthropology of The Tourist’ displays a selection of photographs and videos made during her explorations. Combined with her book ‘From here to The Great Elsewhere – and everything in between’, which is part of this project.
